Do you like tea?

Post Reply New Topic

I am a big fan of drinking tea:-)

Sometimes I wonder whether I was British in the previous incarnation: D


I know that the custom of drinking tea originated in Asia, and the tea itself was popularized in Europe by the British.

I wonder whether the famous English custom of drinking tea at 5 PM is still alive in the UK?

I was born and raised British, but I never cared for tea, and was always the odd one out when everyone else was making endless cups of tea. I don't get it. People seem to do it as an obsessive compulsive activity. I don't have the habit. I have a coffee in the morning with breakfast, and if I'm thirsty I have chilled water throughout the day.

"Tea at 5pm" is probably not the same kind of tea you're thinking of. The British drink the beverage "tea," but they also use the word "tea" as another name for their evening meal, or "dinner." You can hear someone ask "What are we having for tea?" and the reply is: "Shepherd's pie."

Yes!
Of course I do I'm English
Now do I have Earl Grey or Assam...

I love tea, but I use a lot of sugar (:

I haven't even tasted tea since 1773.

Coffee. Decaf. Stirred, not shaken.

I LOVE TEA. ALL TEA. But not with sugar. Never with sugar.

My family always drinks tea at 4 PM. We also have biscuits (sometimes cake).

I'd consider myself more of a coffee drinker but I love tea, too.

Me, either. I don't like sugar in my tea (or coffee). I particularly like earl grey, oolong, chai (spice tea) and (Japanese) green tea among others.

I don't know much about health benefits of tea but I hear some types of tea are good for you.

Yes - tea! No milk, no sugar, has to be caffeine fre - lot's of great teas to chose from.

British and drink tea, not because it's nice, I don't think it tastes nice at at all, but because it's something warm to keep in my hands and it's something to do, make tea.

Switched to green tea a while ago because I thought it would be better. And at the same time cut out sugar! Also cut out milk, but only with a certain brand of green. My usual local shop green taste sh***y without milk, they have a dry aftertaste.

I like Asian teas and green tea with no sugar, just a teaspoon of pure honey. Mmmm....

I also occasionally drink Coffee or Tea, but I prefer green tea. I drink green tea a good few times a week. I used to drink it two or so times a day, every day, but now I only have it every other day or so.

I don't drink it for the sake of drinking tea, I just drink it because it's good for you, helps digestion, and I like the taste better than black tea!

I LOVE TEA! I like in the U.S., and everyone here thinks I'm weird for drinking tea and not liking coffee.

Tea was very popular in Australia when I was a kid and I still enjoy it, but now most people I know seem to drink coffee.

I drink about eight cups of tea per day, and a similar amount of coffee. Milk, but no sugar.

Oh yes I do. Very much.

Only decaf tea. My body reacts terribly to caffeine these days (never liked caffeinated tea to be honest as well)
